Copy pasted the link to this video in my notes because it's clear, concise and convenient to watch.
Being able to visualise it all helps very much!
Thank you!

I had this it caused my stroke , praise God I am alive and not damaged

[@navaneeth_us]

This was small and yet conceptually backed video. Thanks a lot for this beautifully crafted and articulated video on HIT. Thank you so much.

[@DailyMedEd]

Patient is in Hypercoagulable state because of platelet activation and like you said she is forming lots of clots, therefor the patient is using up all of her platelets which will eventually lead to thrombocytopenia.

[@saifaliahmad3528]

Wasn't thinking I'll find a video on this topic... now finally relieved...because it's just not good its perfect...brief and simple...just my type!

[@DailyMedEd]

Glad it was helpful for you. Please feel free to share with your classmates. All the best

Thank you for this video! So easy to understand and visualize

[@nystagmus]

This is great
I think its important to differentiate between type i and type ii hit

[@pamelascalise]

Love this video! After reading pages and pages on HIT, this video summed it all up in 5 mins! Thanks!

[@vanessac1388]

This was great! So easy to understand, and to the point. Thank you!

thank you
this video came just in the perfect time for me

[@targit999]

Great explanation with PF4 and Igg.

[@cinemuse7042]

Thank you! Please post more videos!

[@sentimental007]

Thank You makes sense now...

[@tedxeng7463]

your video is great, but could you explain how exactly the pF4-heparin-IgG complex causes platelet activation? THX

[@silpareddy1050]

Ted XENG

[@nikitapatel8364]

IgG bound to the complex binds to a receptor on platelet thus activating it

[@fitnesspoint2006]

@@nikitapatel8364 duh everbody know that...what receptor? What signaling cascade? Is the signaling to nucleaus? Because platelets are not true cells they are fragments...

[@nirnathan1127]

Great explanation, thank you! :)

[@dragonflar8]

What causes heparin to bind to PF4 rather than it normally activating ATII? If heparin binds to PF4, can it activate ATIII? Heparin is an anticoagulant, but in HIT it is procoagulant. What causes heparin to act the way it does?

[@karentrible268]

Clear and helpful!

[@safigirl001]

thank you! finally understood it

[@flybunny58]

My sister in-law was given heparin before going into heart surgery she had diabetes and shortly after receiving the heparin her hands and feet began to turn black with gangrene the doctors were late in catching the bad reaction and both her hands and feet had to be removed is this a common thing to happen?

[@rufailawal7137]

[@dr.prabindhakalconsultantd2096]

nice one..waiting for more

[@nellyhoffman6194]

thank you doctor ALi :)

[@tubeysr]

In here because today in my clinical case exam i had patient who developed diffuse ecchymosis after several haemodialysis sessions. It was HIT.
It wasn't easy to diagnose n explain there in exam!

[@nimraaslam7715]

Thanks alot!

[@dheerajsai8570]

wow! this is good

[@aboahmedmosub671]

thnx u... this is exatly what i need

[@sportali1312]

الف رحمة على روحك

[@tnagan]

Thank you!

[@duaa87852]

why does the hapten-igG complex activates platlets. Does this complex damage blood vessels? thats why coagulation is initiated?

[@reshatavciogluovchuyev7671]

thanx man

[@elmahdielbouchtili4926]

Thanx

[@sentimental007]

Can anyone please explain an alternate way on why the patient has Hypercoagulable state and Thrombocytopenia from HIT.
-- From my understanding, if platelets are activated --> clots than why "thrombocytopenia" leading to bleeding risk
Thanks

[@theeoconnors505]

antithrombin is II

[@MrJayPuff]

Cool

[@user-di6yg3to5o]

Wow

[@fatimagonzales213]

Also, of note, it is ARGATROBAN not argatorban :)
